Darwinian Poetry: Evolving Poetry via Artificial Selection

[Phobos]

I should probably post this in the General Discussion forum instead of Other Sciences, but hey...if the Boston Globe (where I found this) can post this in their science section, then I can post this here!

But, from chaos comes order. It's the way of things.

Don't read too much into it...it's just someone's fun experiment with artificial selection applied to language. It's not meant to be a proof of biological natural selection.
